Ghanaian YouTuber De God Son TV shared a video that showed the talented rapper all grown up and now working as a coconut seller.

The man identified the coconut seller as Tutulapato, but the rap star seemed agitated and denied he was the one.

"At least he's not stealing state funds or committing a crime. God bless your hustle. If you can't help him let him be."

"One thing about Ghana is that if you are a young talented person and proper care is not taken both spiritually and physically, you can't make it through."

EmmanuelAnokye-g2o commented:

"Its never too late for him, he's still young and can make a difference in life."

"He is making a living out of the trade. We might have had higher expectations for him. Coconut business is not bad. We have not branded it well. We will give him pressure and before we realized he could not absorb such pressure. He has come a long way."
